ACACIA MANGIUM, HOPEA ODORATA AND KHAYA IVORENSIS GROWN IN EX-MINING AND BRIS PLANTATION PLOTS: RESISTANCE AGAINST SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES

Abstract Smoke treatment can be used to enhance wood resistance to subterranean termite attack. In this study, kesambi (Schleichera oleosa) wood was pyrolyzed to produce charcoal. The smoke produced as a by-product of pyrolysis was used to treat sengon (Falcataria moluccana), jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba), mangium (Acacia mangium), and pine (Pinus merkusii) wood samples for 1, 2, or 3 weeks. Following the smoke treatment, the wood specimens were exposed to subterranean termites (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) according to the Indonesian standard 7207-2014 in a laboratory. The color change caused by smoke treatment was observed, and chemical analysis of smoke was also done. The results showed that chemical compounds of kesambi smoke predominantly consisted of acetic acid, phenol, ketones, amines, and benzene. The color of smoked wood became darker, less yellow, and a little redder, while a longer smoking period produced a darker color which was more resistant to termite attack. Smoke treatment enhanced the resistance of wood to subterranean termite attack, and the resistance levels were not significantly different based on the duration of the smoke treatment.

The main destructive wood organism is termites. Trees are attacked by live tree termites and also dead trees. As happened in the Arboretum area of Untan, where many trees were damaged caused by it. The aim of the study was to identify the types of tree destroyers in the Sylva Arboretum area of Untan. This study uses a field survey by exploring all the blocks found in the Untara Sylva Arboretum with an area of 3.2 ha. The results of the study at the Sylva University Arboretum in Tanjungpura from 20 observation blocks were 13 blocks which were attacked and 7 blocks were not exposed to termite attacks. Termites found 3 types of termites, these types include 2 types of soil termites (Nasutitermes Sp and Odontotermes Sp.) And 1 type of subterranean termites (Coptotermes curvignatus). The trees that were attacked in the Untan Arboretum area included 13 species of trees, namely: Acacia mangium, Acacia auriculiformis, Melicope lunu-acenda, Paraserianthes falcataria, Shorea seminis, Shorea pacipila, Shorea sp. Shorea revoluta, Dillenia sp, Gluta renghas, Calophillum inopilum, Nephelium lappaceum, Macarangga pruinosa. The most affected trees are Acacia mangium and Acacia Auriculiformis.Keywords: Tree destroyer termites, Arboretum area

Timber Acacia mangium (Acacia mangium, Willd) for Furniture. The study aims to determine the mechanical and physical properties and the decorative value (color and fiber) wood of acacia mangium with using finishing materials. This type of finishing material used is ultran lasur natural dof ,ultran lasur classic teak, aqua politur clear dof, aqua politur akasia dan aqua politur cherry. After finishing the wood is stored for 3 months. Test parameters were observed, namely, physical and mechanical properties of wood, adhesion of finishing materials, color and appearance of the fiber, and timber dimensions expansion. The results showed that the mechanical physical properties of acacia wood qualified SNI. 01-0608-89 about the physical and mechanical properties of wood for furniture, air dry the moisture content from 13.78 to 14.89%, flexural strength from 509.25 to 680.50 kg/cm2, and compressive strength parallel to fiber 342.1 - 412.9 kg/cm2. Finishing the treatment process using five types of finishing materials can increase the decorative value (color and fiber) wood. Before finishing the process of acacia mangium wood has the appearance of colors and fibers and less attractive (scale scores 2-3), after finishing acacia wood fibers have the appearance of colors and interesting and very interesting (scale 4-5).Keywords: mangium wood, mechanical properties, decorative value, finishing, furniture.
